to be said Oh her side. A mother. look

the young thing ripen into the
fullneSS of her beauty, and is
no mother at all, if, in her eyes at least,
that beauty is not more beautiful than
any other in the world. Thus, Dolly's
complexion may not be good, but then
she was sick so long, and, besides, look
at those beautiful eyes and that shape.
Were there ever such shape and eyes?

Yes | would

The development of this coal supply

A VAIN PASSION.

She sat before me in the pew,
Half listening to the sermon prosy,
Half shading from my eager view
rounded cheek, fresh, plump and rosy.
Her figure trim, in stylish mode,
Her prayer-book, with her name upon it.
Well pleased her, but she plainly showed,
She most admired her Easter bonnet.
And sat idly near her there,
Half wondering at and half admring
The soft confusion of her hair
But never TO her hand aspiring;
For well knew all hopes were vain
Her father is too rich and thrifty
And am poor, and then again
She is but five, while am fifty.
